Morning but over a 1000000 people. So many people are over. There weve never had an empty seat and we certainly were. Also on the day of the uns high commissioner for Refugees Program and he talks about the need for a Global Response to global challenges and if we dont Work Together we wont be able to overcome them hes teaching a lesson every day not that were learning very much and hes teaching us this lesson. Welcome to the day we begin with a u. S. President ial campaign in a time after National Turmoil we know donald trump draws energy from big events and his adoring base but will saturdays comeback rally in tulsa cost him precious Political Capital Health Officials are warning that it has the potential to become a super spreader eventful coronavirus itll be doles in. Wearing of masts will not be compulsory and this in the state of oklahoma which this week has seen a Record Number of the number of new infections soul but critics also accuse the president of being at best deaf to the racial tensions flaring across america the rally was a visually show jewel for today june 18th on an unofficial holiday marking the end of slavery in the u. S. Even though the cho campaign pushed the fed back a day theres no changing tolstoys painful racial history. Catalyzed matter protesters gathered across the u. S. On friday to commemorate the end of slavery the president s choice of this day for a Campaign Rally sparked a huge backlash so too did the location tulsa oklahoma is the site of the worst incident of racist violence in u. S. History in 1021 its greenwich district was a bustling hub of black owned businesses known as black wall street it was razed to the ground by white mobs some 300 black people were killed. And while our black men fought courageously to defend their homes and businesses to defend their families they were eventually. So outnumbered and outgunned that white rioters broke through those barriers and invaded the Greenwood District and the massacre had begun. 99 years later many telfair residents are still affected by racism they say donald trump is not welcome in our community is still emotionally charged we are still hurt we are still hurting and. And suffering and this is not a good time for him to visit the green with this very but the rally will take place only on saturday and there is little hope here that it will contribute to unity and healing. Not far from the Greenwood District Trump Supporters have been camped out for days and thousands more are expected to arrive on saturday black lives matter protesters have also planned a demonstration and fearing the potential for violence the city has imposed a curfew around the venue for trumps rally the president himself has tweeted a warning to anti racism protesters traveling to tulsa you will not be treated like you have been in new york seattle or minneapolis it will be a much different scene well this rally in tolls is supposed to be the big relaunch of the trumper campaign after the coronavirus pandemic severely dented the president s Approval Ratings a d w correspondent stephens the woods is told so welcome staff and so how has the Trump Campaign responded to the questions why here in tulsa so close to the size of the greenwood massacre and why so close to june 13th. The official answer from the white house is that they chose tulsa and the and oklahoma because oklahoma and the governor here is doing such a great job fighting covert 19 and keeping the numbers down however d though both is actually could be further from the truth because the numbers as you pointed out are through the roof in oklahoma and as well here in tulsa were here in the Greenwood District which was just described in the piece and. The people who are here and we who we talked to there are anything but policed by the president s ambition to come here tomorrow and hold his rally no one up there and its an important one the curfew which was mentioned is no more the mayor just released a statement and say its the curfew is rescinded immediately and Effective Immediately upon request of the secret service the secret service according to the mayor had also requested that there would be a curfew in downtown with a rally will be tomorrow again now that pedaling back and everything is back to 0 or the 1st step no more curfew downtown tulsa just 2 or 3 miles down the road here and i think people here are expecting for tomorrow not too many good things to happen because the curfew was was imposed as a health a measure given that officials are warning that this valley could turn into a Coronavirus Spread event one of the organizers doing to try and keep people say. Its going to be sounding very silly when i say this but then ding on the face minutes they will provide Hand Sanitizer and they will have you sign a waiver where you sign you right away to sue the president or the campaign in case you should get sick while attending the trump rally which as you pointed out will start and is designed to read trigger and start the Trump Campaign for the president ial debate in november to come now however when i said this might sound silly because as you said the. Experts say handing out sanitizer and having people running around with face mask but not adhering to social distancing which is not possible if 90000. 00 people are in a big hall and then signing a waiver this all doesnt smell right to many many people and to a lot of experts thats for sure. We heard in the report donald trump saying that he never has an empty seat that his rallies people are already queuing. Theres actually people waiting in line and camping out in front of the be ok the bank of a club home or center since about a week ago last monday now thats not a big crowd now and those are the the really hardcore trumpy and see if you like if you will but days people expected to come here in a massive amount the mayor said that about 100000. 00 people are supposed to be an influx he had to toll so an influx they have actually not had any time before in that in that measure so this will be definitely also security challenge for tomorrow and lets just see whats going to happen then oh good talking to you thank you for joining us on seamans in tulsa oklahoma. Thats going to Historical Perspective on this from bad general to hold hes a professor of history and africanamerican studies at the university of houston is written dozens of books on racism in the history of slavery in the u. S. Hes latest is the dawning of the apocalypse the roots of slavery white supremacist settler colonialism and capitalism and the long 16th century welcome back to the day professor hold its often thought that slavery in the u. S. That ended with abraham lincolns emancipation proclamation 1968 but juneteenth tells a different story. It does in fact both stories a somewhat flawed with regard to mr lincolns a massive case and proclamation it did not necessarily apply in places in the United States where the United States government did not necessarily exercise sovereignty speaking of texas and generally speaking of the socalled Confederate States of america which its a seed of 9 states in 1961 on the basis of extent in slavery for ever more on the other hand juneteenth tilts a story about what happens on june 1865 when Major General Gordon Granger of the u. S. Military shows up in Galveston Texas off the Southern Coast of texas and tells the enslaved that theyre free as a result of their massive pace and proclamation that the story that were being told today and im happy to say that there is now a movement afoot to make june 13th a National Holiday but the storm is actually more complicated and complex right basically what happened is that mexico was under french puppet rule during the u. S. Civil war and texas and slaves were very close to these french puppets and they were thinking about entering mexico recalled that they have to see from mexico in 836. 00 that is to say texas because mexico had moved towards the abolition of slavery now with maximillian in power they thought that they could cut a deal to ruston the lease on life of slavery but that was crushed and squashed and then we heard in the report about the tells a massacre in 1921 quite close to where this rally is taking place on saturday do you see this as anything more than an unfortunate coincidence. Well certainly not its not the perception bus and the kaamelott heris of california one of the more striking critics of mr trump and i dare say that her idea is an idea that is accepted by many what i mean is that this is seen as another thumb in the eye by mr trump in the eye of the black community he is not very well regarded in the black community generally recalled that the original plan was to have the rally in tulsa on june 13th which was seen as dumb and both done so now hes only give us a farm and one. Weve mentioned the tells of masika just reading through the history of it is an illuminating in lots of ways we have black business analysts successful black Business Owners who after this massacre could not rebuild their businesses because Insurance Companies refused to pay out so the violence being perpetrated was at economic as well as physical it is correct oklahoma has a very unique history in terms United States originally oklahoma was for us to be the land of the indians that is to say many of the native americans from the south east for example the charities were forced to march on foot in the 820830 s. To oklahoma where they were supposed to have that forever more as a homeland but like so many promises to native americans this promises also was not tell but black people also flock to oklahoma many of them were close to the choctaw native american grouping and many of them became prosperous which apparently outraged many of their or your american neighbors which led to the tulsa massacre of 1021 which eventuated and some 300 black people being slaughtered and dumped in a mass grave. So professor here we are 155 years after the 1st liberation day black people in the United States are no longer held as slaves and the country has even elected a black president even has black University Professors so what will it take for the social and economic a playing fields for the u. S. Is nonwhite minorities to become level well i think youve had a glimpse of what it will take in the past few weeks not only with these protests on the streets from the atlantic to the pacific but perhaps more important than that the protests in auckland new zealand Sydney Australia London England the remarkable session in Geneva Switzerland the United Nations Human Rights Council were african nations basically sought to bring the United States into the dock on the grounds of quote systemic racism unquote their term not mine being visited a point people of african descent historically that kind of International Support has been is some still in terms of the pushback against slavery the erosion of us apartheid in the 1950 s. And it appears that history is about to repeat itself in 2020 were talking to faggot for joining us professor gerald hall from the university of houston thank you. I want to europe which is better able to weather global storms and provide a safe home for future generations so im looking forward to todays discussion im convinced that folks come in success we must stay focused on the big picture we must all pull together we cannot afford any delay. Well with European Commission president there are sort of on the line calling for unity as the a you worked on a plan to help the countrys worst affected by the coronavirus pandemic the leaders held a summit today by Video Conference the 1st step in overcoming the worst economic crisis in the blocks history because asians on the 750000000000. 00 Euro Coronavirus Recovery Fund are expected to be difficult leaders will be face to face next month for the 1st time since february is german chancellor Angela Merkel speaking after todays meeting hed had to do you know this are the 1st spoke about the positive aspects and also brought up criticism where appropriate even though there are still big bridges that need to be built thats clear but it was a very constructive discussion and there are there constitutive in upmost here so what are the biggest obstacles to reaching a deal on this Coronavirus Recovery Fund is the w. S International editor Richard Walker in brussels well there are a lot i think essentially all that theyve really agreed on is the need for there to be a Recovery Fund and one quite important thing that has rubicon that has been crossed is this idea that the European Commission will borrow the money centrally on the Financial Markets and then distribute it so theres consensus on that much but almost Everything Else is still open the size of the fund the Commission Wants 750000000000. 00 euros theres a small group of countries that have come to be known as the frugal 4 who say thats too much should the money be distributed as loans that have to be paid back or grants that is essentially a free transfer of money theres big debate about that according to what criteria should the money be distributed so all of these are very very Big Questions theyre not as minor details that this is going to be the source of an awful lot of haggling in the weeks to come. Some u. N. High commissioner for refugees is calling for Global Action to help the worlds displaced people during the Coronavirus Crisis according to u. N. Figures the number of refugees has doubled over the past decade and their plight has been compounded by that Global Pandemic an estimated 80000000 people around the world are now living in forced displacement but the outbreak of covered 19 discoursed borders in new york but africa to close making it harder for them to flee and the supply chain for aid has been critical crippled by an economic downturn. And despite the border closures rescue ships are still picking up migrants trying to cross the mediterranean to europe warmer weather and better sailing conditions are expected to lead to a surge in such attempts Filippo Grandi is the un high commissioner for refugees he told the dublin but european leaders must reprivatize migration policy or face the same problems over and over again. Look i you know i i am european myself i come from italy a country that has been severely hit i understand the priority now is to help the situation and the economic downturn but what im telling them is that if you keep postponing the vital discussion on asylum a migration if you dont consider seriously the proposals that the European Commission has put before all Member States this is just something that we will have this problem again in 6 months boards floating in the body 3 by the way weve seen it even during the peak of the pandemic and no solution because that is not even an agreement between states on what to do with those that are decent but if we dont make progress there we we face further emergencies in europe in the future. The pandemic has hopefully finally brought home to everybody this fundamental message that we live in a world in which many things are global whether we like it or not including challenges im not just talking about the endemic was everybody understands that but what about Climate Change what about migration and refugees what about in security terrorism and if we dont Work Together we wont be able to overcome them dependent hes teaching us this lesson every day not that were learning very much but hes teaching us this lesson and i do hope that this starts filtering in and across to the leadership sendek we move away from this dangerous discourse me 1st we 1st my country 1st and we truly cooperate. China says the latest corona Virus Outbreak in beijing is now under control the authorities imposed a partial lockdown after the virus remerge that the sprawling food market this week the movement of people ended out of beijing is being strictly controlled with all travelers required to undergo testing. A few in china have felt the Economic Impact of the coronavirus as much as migrant workers. Hujan she is a day laborer who usually works on construction sites but the building sector took a hit from the corona Virus Outbreak. Finding a job is harder now than it was. There are more protective regulations like social distancing rules. But we have survived the worst months of the pandemic threat even quite sure that she wasnt. At private job centers postings on the windows show how much the job market has taken a hit wages are declining the equivalent of around 20 u. S. Dollars per day instead of 30. But who you know she says he doesnt want to criticize china in front of the international media. She junie is one of the few people in china willing to speak out hes a human rights lawyer and authorities have been watching him more closely since the pandemic began. When many chinese took to social media to call for freedom of speech he participated by signing a petition. With the police told me that if i didnt cooperate with them and delete what i had written if i continued to speak my mind there would be consequences for my family and me. Too she worries that the government will use the pandemic to tighten its control over chinese citizens a number of journalists have already felt the pressure. Now leads a why was a news anchor for state controlled media when the pandemic kid he quit his job to report independently from. A classified ad called for night shift workers at a funeral home lead took the job hoping to find out the true number of people who had succumbed to the virus. He was broadcasting live when Plainclothes Police entered his apartment and arrested him he disappeared for 2 months. In april he appeared in a single video explaining that he was simply in quarantine many of his viewers say he had been forced to lie. Chinas critics say state propaganda has been ramped up since the pandemic began state t. V. Portrays china as a global savior sending Health Care Supplies by the ton to countries in need National Pride is on the rise chinas handling of the crisis has been a model for the world thats the opinion of many here at the great wall. This is how china works 1st our leaders come up with a plan and the people should follow without raising too many objections and benefits everyone. So here you see the difference between socialism and capitalism you should probably take a lesson from china china believed it had the coronavirus pandemic under control the economy was once again up and running but a new outbreak threatens to draw the country back into a crisis. Here in Germany Police are under fire not acting quickly enough to arrest a network of child abuse investigators are still working through a mountain of digital evidence some of which was confiscated more than a year ago.

Expert he and other suspects in custody supposedly drugged the children the house was set up with a video studio in another basement there was a room with a server the videos show crimes that investigators could hardly stand to watch how could anyone do this to children. When abuse occurs the victims are dehumanised. And they are no longer seen as someone deserving respect and dignity rather they are seen as objects that can be used. The garden house belonged to the main suspects mother she taught in a local kindergarten and is also being detained by police. Responsible that the mother worked at a kindergarten and simply allowed the man access to these children i dont know how Something Like this can happen in todays world and im shocked its disturbing that the neighbors didnt notice anything. The city police and court system were aware of the danger posed to the public by the main suspect he had already been convicted twice. Believed that this man who is now the main suspect would reform himself and no longer pose a danger to children. They now know that these evaluations or simply wrong.
